Wander was built with the goal of delivering the ultimate vacation rental guest experience and helping as many people as possible “Find Their Happy Place™”. Wander Atlas REIT, Inc. (“Wander REIT”) provides a vehicle for our members, guests and existing investors to invest in Wander’s high-end network of homes.
Wander REIT is the first vacation rental REIT, and its edge lies in its close affiliation with Wander. Because Wander controls every aspect of the customer journey — from the home, to the booking platform and the total guest experience — we're well-positioned to drive higher occupancy and higher customer satisfaction, which ultimately has the potential to translate into higher returns for Wander REIT investors.
Wander REIT gives investors the opportunity to invest in vacation rentals without the hassle of individual vacation home ownership. It targets annual income of 7-8% and a total annualized return including appreciation of 14%. Investors not only get the benefit of potential returns, but also tax-advantaged income, so they can keep more of what they earn. Investors also benefit from portfolio diversification and access to exclusive perks that allow them to enjoy the underlying product: the Wander homes.
Q2 Results
Each quarter, our investors receive an update from our leadership team in which we share portfolio and Wander REIT performance information. We wanted to make this information available to prospective investors so you can get a better understanding of our REIT offering and its performance. With that being said, we are excited to share a few highlights from our second quarter activity!
We are pleased to announce the addition of our sixth portfolio property, Wander Anchor Cove! Wander Anchor Cove is located in Gualala, California, approximately 120 miles north of San Francisco, next door to another Wander REIT property, Wander Anchor Bay. The proximity of the two properties affords us the unique opportunity to market both homes together as “Wander California Coast”, a spectacular offering including six bedrooms of luxury accommodation spread across ten acres of pristine California coastline!
This quarter we are pleased to distribute our second quarterly dividend of $0.21 per share, which similar to last quarter, equates to an 8.0% annualized return. Additionally, following updated property appraisals, the portfolio benefited from a 9.1% increase in net asset value (NAV) over Q1 2023 (14.7% increase YTD).
Thank you to current and future investors for your continued trust in the Wander team and your support of Wander REIT.
